Helloo everyone! Please excuse my amateur translation, feel free to make any corrections in the comments! Many expressions and phrases are untranslatable, I recommend looking at the original Chinese if you have the time: https://tv.cctv.com/2020/08/17/VIDEvd... I don't claim any credit of this work aside from the translations. This is part two of "Chuncao Storms the Court". This is the first time there's more translator's notes in part two than part one!
